Final Report on Recovery of Thorium and Uranium From Monazite Sand : Volume 1 (open access)

Final Report on Recovery of Thorium and Uranium From Monazite Sand : Volume 1

Report describing a method for recovery of high yields of thorium and uranium from monazite sand concentrates. Monazite is decomposed into hydrous metal oxides, which are dissolved in an acid. The solution is then separated into a precipitate, which seperates from thorium and uranium. An alternate separation method is evaluated.

Estimated Manufacturing Costs for the Recovery of Thorium and Uranium from Monazite Sand (open access)

Estimated Manufacturing Costs for the Recovery of Thorium and Uranium from Monazite Sand

Abstract: "Costs have been estimated for the production of uranium and pure thorium from monasite concentrates by a process involving (1) reaction of monasite with caustic soda, (2) dissolution of the hydrous oxides in hydrochloric acid, (3) separation from the bulk of the rare earths by hydroxide precipitation of thorium and uranium, and (4) purification by solvent extraction."
